The race starts at 6:30am at the Fairy Lake Trailhead, which is a 45-minute drive from the Finish, the final 25 minutes of which is along a dirt road requiring a high-clearance vehicle. 

Each participant must arrange their own transport to the Start Line.  There is no shuttle to the Start line from either the Finish Line or the parking area at HRDC.  After the race, there is no shuttle from the Finish Line back to the Start Line.  All participants are encouraged to park their vehicles at HRDC (206 E Griffin Dr), and self-organize carpooling to the Start Line from there.  The pre-race meeting can serve as a good place to arrange such logistics with other participants.  

Finish Area

The Finish Line is at the Fish Hatchery, by the Drinking Horse Trailhead, which is across the highway from the M Trailhead.

Participants will be clearly directed from the M Trailhead through the Drinking Horse tunnel to the Fish Hatchery.

The Finish Area will have a medical team, snacks, and aid for participants.  All drop-bags from the Start Line will be laid out at the Finish Area.

Awards will be given to top three overall finishers in each gender category, as well as in each 10-year age division.  There will be two award ceremonies at the Finish Area Party: one at 12pm for those award categories that have been filled by then, another at 3pm for the remaining award categories.  

Everybody is invited to hang around the Finish Area, where shade, BBQ, beverages, and good spirits can be found.  The Finish Area will have very limited parking.  A shuttle bus will be operating roughly 9am-4:30pm to take anybody (participants, friends/family/supporters) between the Finish Area and HRDC.  (Note: there will be a port-a-potty at the HRDC parking.)  Here's a link to a map:
